I’m Not A Substitute, I’m His Aunt Chapter 07

I’m Not A Substitute, I’m His Aunt Chapter 07

The comments were shocked:

[Are they crazy? I thought it was just laxative. How could the sweetheart actually try to kill someone?]

[Wake up, everyone! From this moment on, Elaine is no longer a sweetheart!]

I steadied my sister who almost fainted from rage and glanced at the contents of the report. It read: Highly toxic; symptoms appear two weeks after consumption, and the poison self-decomposes.

What a vicious poison. It could kill without a trace.

Nolan flipped through the report, flabbergasted.

“There’s no way… There’s no way… Elaine is such a kind girl. She even risked her life to save me!”

He grasped Elaine’s shoulders and questioned her anxiously, “Who came up with the plan? You didn’t know it was poison, right?”

He pointed at Sandra and Alfred. “Was it your mother or Alfred? Say something!”

Elaine avoided his gaze, unable to reply.

Sandra couldn’t stand it anymore. She stepped in front of her daughter protectively.

“Nolan, it was my idea. It was all me! Elaine has nothing to do with this. She didn’t know anything!”

I scoffed holding the glass.

“It was all you? Do you understand what kind of crime premeditated murder is? I can make you spend the rest of your life in prison.”

As if she couldn’t hear me, Sandra kept mumbling, “It was all me. My daughter has nothing to do with it…”

I turned to Elaine and questioned her, “Spill it. Who’s the mastermind? If you don’t, your mom will end up in prison.”

Elaine looked conflicted, but after a while, she pointed at Sandra with a trembling finger. Nolan let out a sigh of relief.

However, I burst into laughter.

I raised the report and said, “The poison requires a precise ratio of chemicals. How can your mother, who didn’t even graduate high school, concoct such a poison? Truth be told, if you had been honest, I might have considered not pursuing the matter, but since you’re both wicked and stupid and try to treat me as a fool, I don’t want to give you a chance anymore.”

Watching Elaine’s eyes shift from hope to despair, I felt a sense of satisfaction.

The comments were filled with questions:

[Wait a minute, the aunt is just saying that, right? She never considered giving Elaine a chance, right?]

[What a character shift! I think I’m falling in love with Aunt Betty!]

Nolan looked at Elaine, disappointment written all over his face, “Elaine, you’ve changed.”

I felt a headache looking at this big fool.

My sister and brother-in-law shared my exasperated expression.

“You still trust a woman capable of selling out her own mother? Do you really believe she’d risk her life to save you?”

My sister gestured for Wendy to step forward.

“This girl is your true savior. We were late because we were investigating her.”

Wendy stepped forward hesitantly, but I took her hand with a smile and said softly, “Don’t be scared. You helped me inform my sister and brother-in-law, so you saved my life. I’ll protect you and make sure no one can hurt you.”

Her panicked eyes gradually calmed, and she looked at me gratefully. Then, she removed her mask.

She had a very beautiful face, albeit marred by a burn scar on her right cheek.

Wendy looked directly at the shocked Nolan and said, “I got this scar when I saved you in the accident.”
